Saw Okkervil River at this years EOTR Festival where we even had a quick chat to lead singer Will Sheff as the band walked through the secret garden. So for the first thirty minutes of the gig I did not recognise the band at all. Far too heavy a sound with an overpowering drumming dominance. Then something happened, around So Come Back, I Am Waiting, the set mood changed, slightly more emphasis on a pop sound, audience participation, but the change was noticable. Two women standing in front of me appeared to be politly bored, exactly how I was feeling too, and then it changed, they started to bop, started to get involved, and the gig came alive.
Full marks to Will Sheff, he gave it his all, a great lead man, looking when bespeckled like Jarvis Cocker, and this was the band that I saw at EOTR.
